Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is
stored in the bonds of glucose.
The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be
used for cell functions.
The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose
and oxygen molecules.
The process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of
energy stored in the bonds of glucose.

Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by penicillinase (also known as β-lactamase), an enzyme present in some resistant bacteria. the mass of this enzyme in staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kd. the amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in a 10-ml solution containing 10-9 g of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change appreciably during the assay. penicillin(μm) amount hydrolyzed(nmol) 1 0.11 3 0.25 5 0.34 10 0.45 30 0.58 50 0.61 (a) plot v0 versus [s] and 1/v0 versus 1/[s] for these data. does penicillinase appear to obey michaelis-menten kinetics? if so, what is the value of km? (b) what is the value of vmax? (c) what is the turnover number of penicillinase under these experimental conditions? assume one active site per enzyme molecule.
